-- BRAMPTON -- A parolee released in June and described by police sources as a cousin of shooting victim Jordan Manners was yesterday charged in the gun murder of an East York man as a birthday party ended.This killing sounds like a particularly brutal event.
He was released in June on parole from a federal institution after being sentenced to 27 months for firearm and other offences over a road rage incident in 2005. He was also banned from possessing a firearm for 10 years.
During the dispute, a firearm was pulled and the victim, who was not known to police, was shot repeatedly in the head and upper body.There was also a similar sort of connection in the recent tragic shooting death of Ephraim Brown. Ephraim's uncle, Matthew Osbourne was shot to death four years ago in Scarborough.
But let's not let any of that get in the way of blaming an inanimate object for Toronto's rising homicide rate... instead of a bankrupt culture that breeds violence and misery.
I just don't get it.
